Midland Micro Mobile 15 Watt GMRS Radio with Magnetic Mount Antenna (MXT275) [A]

The Midland MXT275 is a 15-watt GMRS mobile radio that puts every control in the hand mic. The radio body has no buttons and no display of its own — channel, volume, and squelch all live on the microphone. That means the unit tucks under a seat or behind a panel while only the mic needs to reach the driver. Good fit for a tight cab, a roll-cage rig, or any build where dash space is already spoken for.

You get 15 GMRS channels, 8 repeater channels, and 142 privacy codes, so you can run convoy chatter or hit a local GMRS repeater for longer reach. Hi/Lo power lets you drop to low when the group is close and conserve range when it isn't. The 15-watt output paired with the external mag-mount antenna pushes line-of-sight reach well past any handheld — figure a few miles in real terrain, more across open ground. Built-in NOAA weather scan and alert pull the 10 weather channels so you hear a watch or warning before it rolls in.

Install is no-drill. The magnetic-mount antenna sits on any flat steel surface with 19 feet of cable to the radio, and the 12V adapter plugs into a cigarette socket. Compatible with Midland FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies on shared channels, so it talks to the handhelds your group already carries. A GMRS license is required to transmit — one FCC license, no test, covers your whole household for 10 years.
